User blog:Lordsunflash/The War For Mossflower

The tribes of Mossflower have always been at one another's necks, yet the conflict has stayed as small scuffles ending in a few wounds and retreats on both sides. But now the tribe members grow restless and weary of this peace. Tired of living alongside their enemies for so long the secretive Akila tribe has declared war upon the equally large Juska tribe. In an attempt to keep peace the otter holts and other woodlander tribes have formed together to stop the vermin from destroying all of Mossflower. With this many smaller tribes have chosen sides in the war, turning small skirmishes between the two tribes into large battles. Who shall you side with in this Tribal War over the wood of Mossflower?

Rules
1) no invincibility! I think most people understand this. But with that being said you don't have to die.(when fighting someone leave them an out unless they are fine with dying)

2)All the normal rules apply(no swearing, personal insults, etc.)

3)maybe 3 characters max. But in all likelihood this wont be a problem. I(Lordsunflash) am the only exception if it is needed.

4)no wolves. No offence to people that like them, I just don't think they belong in Redwall. Too big.(I may give an exception if you can convince me of it)

5)DON'T JUST MAKE A COMMENT THAT SAYS "I THINK I MIGHT JOIN THIS" IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CHARACTER YET SPEND THIS TIME TO THINK OF ONE.

4) If you have a character speak a different language(Only partially, you must speak mostly English) please put the translation as such: oui (yes) also try to keep to the more Phonetic languages if you do.

The Akila Tribe
The Akila Tribe was formed in the far off land of Arundell in Black Cod Bay who in recent days have moved to Mossflower and built up a base of command at the edge of the great inland lake. They are separated into eight different patrols each with their own emblem(And tattoo) and leader. These patrols are lead by a single leader and a group of officers. This is all kept in line by The Guardians, a guard for the chief and expert trackers, spies, and outstanding archers. While The Akila tribe is not as large as the Juska tribes they have more training and more structured, having a highly structured hierarchy of command.

The Juska
Most Redwall fans know of the Juska already. They are a tribe of land pirates who are each defined by adding their leader's last name unto the Juska title.(Juskabor, Juskarath, Juskazann) At this day and age they have formed together into one great Juska tribe and all listen to their leader unanimously. While the Juska are not as skilled and contain more average vermin they have much more numbers than the more strategic Akila.

The Woodlanders
When the Akila and Juska first declared war upon one another the woodlanders of Mossflower saw this as a huge threat. With Redwall almost barricading itself in to avoid the war the rest of the woodlanders formed an alliance to stop the war themselves before the Akila and Juska could destroy the forest.

Tabun
Gender: Male

Species: Ferret

Place of origin: Black Cod Bay

Appearance/armour: A little over average height and riddled with scars all over his body. He usually wears a simple tunic and metal breastplate and greaves when it is time for battle.

Weapons: A poisoned metal dagger in the shape of a snake's fang with an actual snake's fang in the center of it. He also carries a normal broadsword.

Personality: Ruthless in battle, a cunning strategist, vengeful, A loving father, and a great teacher.

Backstory: A born leader when Tabun was young he was the officer for the original Guardian patrol and lead them to the top. After his father died he took control and put them in the position they are today. Shortly after his son Corbus was born his wife was killed by a snake. He chased the snake down and killed it with his bare paws and took its tooth as a trophy and had it forged into a dagger. Now that he is growing older he sees his son Corbus as the next in line and is building him up to be a great chief.

Corbus Quick-blade
Gender: Male

Eye color: brown

Species: Ferret

Place of Origin: Black Cod Bay, Arundell

Appearance: Rather small he is also a little muscular and very well built for his size. He often wears a steel breastplate and a bag that contains all he travels with. Has brown fur.

Weapons: Scimitar, Dirk, Buckler(sometimes)

Personality: Always looking for an alternative strategy if others have failed, he will look at a battle from afar. He is also chivalrous and has respect and honour for himself and others. He is also rather quiet around all but close friends, and is hard to make new allies, but as soon as they are on his side he is loyal to the death for them.

Backstory: Born in Arundell before they moved to Mossflower he is the son of Tabun. His father never wanted him to go into a patrol and he usually drifts between them, sometimes going to the Guardians and helping with their missions. He was mostly ignored as a child until one day he proved he was a natural with the blade when a fellow Akila pushed him too far and resulted in Corbus viciously attacking him with his scimitar. Since then he has been seen by his father as one with great potential and has been readying him to take over as the leader of the Akila.
